3. AB de Villiers (RCB)

In the curtain-raiser of RCB against KKR, it was the partnership between Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers which steadied the ship for them after early dismissals. However, in that knock, ABD rain through the KKR bowlers before getting dismissed by the youngster Nitish Rana. However, in the games against KXIP, it was De Villiers’ 50, helped RCB to chase down a tricky total of 156. Even in the third game, he will hold the key for Bangalore in their home game of the season.
